Cramping and creatine

[halfaclue]

One of my buddies has been getting cramps in his hammies from creatine. I told him to drink lots of water but I do not use creatine because it never works for me. Anything else he can do or take?

Never heard of cramping while on creatine...or at least i have never experienced this...lost of water and i guess it wouldnt be a bad idea to get some taurine..this helps with clen cramps..might help him with his creatine cramps.

I personally have never had cramps from creatine and I take a lot (it does work well for me). Drink lots of water is good advice but also add a bit more potassium to his diet.

Creatine does cause cramps in some people. You can either drop the creatine or increase water and mineral intake. Potassuim, etc.

increase H20 and possibly add some taurine.

Second the potasium intake. However, go with natual sources of this i.e. bananas, etc. Suppliments can create real problems for the body. Potassium is what the doctors use to stop the heart during surgical proceedures. Just go very easy on them if you choose to use............

more water and maybe a little potasium.
